friday it's a very special name it both reflect the. the syrian people and to send a message to the extent of the syrian situation or the opinions of syrian people but the days of names like dignity and honor from last march have come to an end with calls to arm the rebels and kill the president becoming the main message from those protests and against the regime so a lot of. people saw a lot of killing people who saw their families are being killed in front of their eyes so i mean this is just natural class war coming he's accusing the president of killing many however argue that these hostile messages are to provoke more violence and the steering the country. is. trying to. effect.
7:03 am
people of my people think. this is the way to. go syrians want to connect. violence with. dignity or symbolically some history of syria and of course some purposes although anti-government protests in syria have a very. few things that they usually go on before the day friday the place the time after the prayer and even because they're gathering for the slogans they're chanting i usually make public you know and this thing changes although with. so exactly who is behind these messages. it is now a common subject among people in general not just on t.v. but i don't know specific source and they were there i heard from the people around me my friends were actually television. some yes something
7:04 am
well intimate i don't know there are some people who name every friday but it doesn't interest me i think you should ask them. i think i heard something on t.v. . the trail led us to a website called syrian revolution it is here that the name of the coming friday is usually published supposedly after people voted for it it said it represents all of the session groups strangely enough the syrian national cultivation committee the opposition within the country say they have nothing to do with this site oh another place where the potency carried out cannot be accessed from syria of course the water is electronic what can never be sure it is real or not it's honest or not while it's not clear who really stands behind the idea some names like china is killing us or no veto to just an agenda that's not looking to compromise and stick a peaceful solution to the conflict
7:05 am
a little that there was once friday called syrian national council represents me to try to change people's mentality friday before prayers and back when people feel unity with themselves has become a day for violence now it eventually makes their people and the state weak and why even with the rhetoric growing stronger every friday many here are starting to question who is really pulling the strings trying to escalate the violence and race nationality damascus. well to libya now where the country's interim prime minister is in washington appealing for us how to drive out quote remnants of the old regime but the new it libyan authorities face challenges and holding the country together with powerful tribal leaders are a declaring family on the economy in the capital tripoli but political analysts i may ask are however thinks washington is no longer interested in the country's and political future. we have
7:06 am
a little puppet in tripoli. needle as we call it not the stuff up that will show you he's saying that he's going to intervene in so he's going to be what kind of you know where to look at after two point zero is going to intervene against the people of syria back up all over again because they are splintering the tribes in mr libby has been antagonizing the central government tripoli for decades if not centuries and this is a second what's happening because of the sprinter need to doesn't care of course the u.s. the brits and the french don't care as long as they have contracts with tripoli to go alliance between especially against the between washington. and paris and the g.c.c. they want to be called and then this tribute the spoils and who cares about the future of libya as a democracy is going to be a war warning shoots tribal feuds that is going to go on for ever.
7:07 am
and sarah marusek a beirut based researcher for sara consider versity says the new libya hasn't changed much from the gadhafi era state the only difference is the international community is now turning a blind eye to crimes against humanity there. the country is in chaos right now it's heartbreaking and outrageous as president obama said about the situation in syria no the situation in libya is about way we hear about militias torturing people who are suspected of supporting qaddafi in the past and there was a hideous story about someone's fingers getting cut off because he was horsewhipped on the hand repeatedly over and over again until his fingers were severed these are crimes against humanity that are happening in libya and there is no outcry by the international community the same international community that called for a no fly zone in libya to save civilians to save people's lives so really it's a very dangerous situation we don't know who has what capacity right now to attack
7:08 am
other people and other tribes and so it's very difficult political solution it is required for this certainly not a military one. coming up on r t nowhere to hide you think this is are being watched by big brother of the government aims to snoop on the private lives of the british public like never before. and the health care catastrophe in india the ever increasing gap between rich and poor of the scores of sick without any hope of recovery. but first with eight months to go the race for america's presidency is already in full swing with republican rivals locked in a bitter struggle for the nomination but a long science near campaigns and dirty politics is another problem but someone archaic voting system disregards millions of votes and as our reports there's a growing demand for revamped election process. one of these men could be president
7:09 am
just eleven months from now this president even if i'm president as president i'd say you got is somebody who can actually get it done in washington as americans head to the polls in two thousand and twelve determined to take part in democracy millions of votes may end up rejected or thrown away calm election night two point two million votes were lost in two thousand and eight voter registration problems they've backer is the director of elections initiatives at the pew center on the states he says america's nineteenth century paper based in voter registration system has left the nation's registration rolls pleaded by a rooney as errors we found roughly twenty four million records that are no longer up to date mostly because people have moved in some cases because people have died and we found fifty one million eligible voters who aren't on the rolls but one in four of the old all citizens united states a new report on america's quote inaccurate costly and inefficient voting system
7:10 am
also found nearly two million dead individuals listed as eligible u.s. voters and nearly three million citizens registered in more than one state we're seeing voting problems during the two thousand and nine midterm elections resulted in a reported sixty thousand votes being tossed out not counted i think she'll say the misuse of new electronic optical scan machines was to blame yet again the biggest prize would likely be the integrity of america's free and fair elections we should assume that every citizen that is eligible to vote can vote and if there's some problem on election day there should be some way that they can correct so if they're not told i don't see you in a book even though you are a citizen even though you are eighteen your vote isn't going to count rush back in december u.s. secretary of state hillary clinton said the same thing following russia's parliament reelection the russian people like people and. everywhere deserve the

a button secretly living your life with the new digital rights groups say it will leave people living in fear of big brother the problem here is really that it is intrusive and the sort of places where you can see that might be useful could be you know it could be a it could be tax it could be to force it could be copyright infringement. and terrorism and serious crime are a tiny subset of the possibilities that you could use information for it's the ones being watched who are paying for it too so obvious security experts predict it'll cost taxpayers over a billion dollars to be spied on even then there's no guarantee they'll be safe from other prying eyes any person who guarantees. absolute security is an idiot and if you're dealing with information which might be required at short notice by law enforcement then that means that quite a lot of people need to be involved. i suspect most of the time is going to be
7:15 am
quote unquote secure. there also it's highly likely that there will be large scale failures as well you're typing into eatings private for now the legislation still has to go through parliament the previous government's wish for a surveillance where it was fought off in two thousand and eight over fears of data safety the greater fear this time we're told is a threat to national security but events like the olympics the government's justification so it may not be long before what you thought was personal reaches a much wider audience i've given it r.t. london our website our teams are can you can find plenty more news from the u.k. while the country's politicians may need some looking out for themselves some british m.p.'s seem to be drunk not only on power related scandals in westminster become a great topic in town. but

7:17 am
agreement between iran and several international powers to restart talks on iran's alleged nuclear weapons program president rashid from the national iranian american council says it's crucial for regional stability but israel's worldwide cries are muzzled. after three decades of little or no communication between iran and the united states there's no question that it's going to be a very challenging path that all sides are facing and you know i think being on the precipice of war has to really focus the attention of various decision makers in various capitals and focus them specifically on the need for all parties to compromise and there's a difference between what the united states and the international community are asking for and what do you really would prefer and these negotiations are going to be an opportunity to figure out how to try and square that circle i think it's safe to say that any honest and objective analyst would agree that iran will not give up its nuclear program in its entirety but it will agree to limitations that are monitored america by the international atomic energy agency the policy isn't
